The ports tree has moved on a lot since Feb 2002. A lot more
applications (including kde3) have been added/debugged to the list.
What you need to do is to cvsup the latest ports tree, eg:

    # cvsup -L2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

pkg_delete *all* your old kde ports and then:

    # cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3
    # make install

While it's building, go out and have some fun - it's gonna take a
*LONG* time to finish building.

Hope this helps.
